Should we rethink the homepage/module pointers in long descriptions? (Was: Bug#646992)

That's the usual deal with X-related stuff. I guess we could batch the
removal of the X.org pointer (pointing through Homepage if deemed
appropriate). The module isn't exactly redundant, since the upstream
module is hosted on freedesktop.org, and might be known there under a
different name than the one we have for its packaging in Debian
(mentioned in Vcs-*). But then, I have added a pointer to the upstream
git repositories in all debian/watch files, so it could just go away.

So maybe just Homepage: http://www.x.org/ should be sufficient for all
packages? What do other think?


That said, Justin and Martin, many thanks for the bug and the patch. I
won't be able to review those today, though, sorry.

Mraw,
KiBi.
